What an odd comment...a rude comment, actually. I think they dress nicely. Regardless of anyone's opinion, there is very little showing in the 3 photos for one to really be able to judge exactly how they dress.

I think they are dressed pretty awesome. Fashionable, but still modest. Who knows if they attended a specific event with a certain dress theme. I hate that we have become a community of people who judge first and don't care if we have all facts. And, we judge on silly things (dress) instead of content of character. They seem to be great people living their lives in a Godly way. Leave the silliness out.

Hey now, I wondered, too, if the second picture was a costume party or a dress-up photo booth at someone's wedding. They seem to be having too much fun there for it to be a serious event. You can't tell what was going on when these photos are taken out of context and have no explanations with them.

Anon @ 11:35 I think you are referring to the second picture which I thoght looked a bit odd also. My first thought was they were at a fancy dress party, mainly due to Jeremys shirt, but maybe its because its a close up shot? Its impossible to make any comment here without being pounced on.

I believe the Duggars dress accordingly to their personal beliefs, so let us not judge for those who judge will be judge also. And to the Duggar girls, thank you for dressing modestly. I am a young women myself and am so encouraged by your inward beauty and outward. You rock!

Everyone just needs to lighten up and let the poor married woman dress the way she wants!!! She's an adult and she and her husband can make decisions for themselves. She won't be glorifying the Lord any less.

it,s always smart during the frist few yrs of any marriage couples need to have fun enjoy each and learn each other before ever thinking of having a child. bravo to jeremy and jinger choosen this path themselfs frist

Yes! I think they should build a solid marriage before children. You can't do that in 6 months. Jinger has always been the Duggar rebel so I it will be interesying to see what our shorts- wearing friend plans het own family.

I think the whole purpose of courting was to get to know each other. Without the physical connection so many people base their relationships on they did get to know each other. They knew the heart and mind of the person they were marrying, it wasn't just a body. NOTE: please don't marry anyone you don't already know, it usually ends up disasterious!

Anon @ 10:20 Jeremy and Jinger might know each other now, but could not possibly have known each other well when they married. They had a very short courtship and a lot of it was long distance, so having some time alone together is important before children come along. I'm sure they find the endless speculation tiring, I know a lot of us do.

How do you know they are waiting for / postponing children? She could have had a miscarriage and not told the world. I was part of an infertility support group, and many of us had chronic miscarriage. However, people would congratulate us on "family planning" when that wasn't the case at all. It was very hurtful. Please do not assume.

have a cousin who,s wife had the same problem w/ 10 miscarriages durin their 1st 5 of marriage. they were told has something to do her own blood attacking the egg if it,s a real virus. can be treated and you will have the prize 9months later. the cousin and wife had 9 childern all boys LOL

6:09- 2:35 was a tad blunt, but I would hardly call it selfish. I think the most unselfish thing a person can do is be honest if they don't want to have any children and then make sure they do not. Too many irresponsible people procreate who have no business doing so. It is hardly fair to the kids they bring into the world if the parents can't or won't provide for their physical and emotional well-being.

I noticed many comments regarding when Jeremy and Jinger should or shouldn't have children. Wanted to add an interesting twist regarding that topic. Michelle says in her book from awhile back that her and Jimbob spent the first couple years of their marriage investing in making their marriage a solid one. I don't think they were in the church they're now in at the time though because otherwise they would've counseled their married kids to do that too. I'm sure if they'd told their kids to do as they did, the kids would've listened.

Someone stated that Jinger was the rebel one in the family. I was offended by that remark. She is not a rebel. She is a very devout Christian who never hesitates to profess her faith and her deep love for jesus. She is stylish She loves her family. Is very tender hearted. She is close to her brother Joseph who is also a devout christian. She hhasas karried a pasfor ajd married into a good christian family. She has tremendous respect for her parents. Rebelious? Never. She is so humble. I am so pleased to see her grow from the awkward young girl into an amazing confident young woman. She definitely will make an amazing mothet. I love how her husband treats her so lovingly. She needs it. It had to be hard giving so much love to younger siblings and sharing so much attention with so many other siblings. Love jinger.

When and if they have a child is their business, ONLY. It is of no concern of any one else and that includes their parents and definitely strangers.

I find it very rude of people constantly yakking about Jinger having a baby. We don't know what her and her husband's plans are. We know NOTHING about this young couple. Imagine how a young woman would feel if, for some reason, she is trying and it is not happening.

Jinger is more than a baby-making machine. She, as does all young women, deserves privacy. So, people, enough of this baby talk.

I've read through comments here and I just don't understand a few remarks. Some post kind of not very nice comments like they're just angry over wondering when Jremy and Jinger have a baby. Why would people get so upset over asking when they'll have a child? Are they forgetting 10 years of 19 KAC where they've been very open about their beliefs as to no birth control, kids are a blessing etc.? This is what they do! Actually, I think the family as well as their married kids would be upset if we DIDNT ask lol!

Anonymous @8:39 about her over-use of make-up is fair game. How else will she learn to not overdue the junk. And yes, it is junk. There is no need for a young woman to paint herself. Youth is, itself, beautiful.

Anonymous 1:16 can't you remember what it was like to be young? Experimenting with makeup is part of that, she has the rest of her life to go around barefaced. If all she's doing is wearing eyeliner and trying out Bermuda shorts I hardly think she's deserving of all this Christian-cism.

Gotta love all the people telling other people to keep their opinions to themselves. So ironic.I do believe her natural beauty would stand out more with less makeup, but some girls go through phases with makeup, so maybe she'll learn to tone it down.

I disagree because although some use makeup for attention, it is suppose to embrace your natural beauty. Everyone has their own convictions from God so we must not judge like as it says in Romans. Do not look down at others who do stuff differently.

Perpetual Dieter, I do remember what it was like to be a teenager and even then I DID NOT wear this junk. I grew out of my very short flirtation with make-up (lasted about a few months at age 15).

By the way, Jinger is a married woman-time to grow up. She is not a teenager.

Yes, make-up is junk. It is a perfect breeding ground for bacterial. Eye makeup can cause serious eye infections. It can also flake off into food; a source of contamination.

It would be much better that a woman spend her energy and resources doing something remarkable with her life than worrying about how attractive she is.

By the way, this has nothing to do with any religious convictions. It is about accepting yourself as you are, warts and all, and taking care of yourself. Putting this junk on your face and eye lids is not taking care of yourself.

11:40- This "God's timing" thing seems to be a catch-all for just about anything that happens or doesn't happen. If a couple does not use contraception of some sort, there's a good chance there will be a pregnancy. Unless, of course, there's a physical reason preventing it. I don't think God is orchestrating everything in our lives. We have free choice, we make decisions... we're also at the mercy of time and chance.

Anon @ 11:40. Maybe we all need to conside (you included)that none of us know what they are doing in what is a private aspect of their lives. They may not be going down the same route as the Duggar family and might actually have a plan for when they try for a baby and how many children they will have. Remember Jeremy was not raised in the same environment as Jinger and may not have the same desire to have a large family.

I enjoy the Duggars and, yes, Jinger and Jeramy are a cute couple....but I could really stand to hear some freash news about them. The wedding is long over and it would be great to hear anout their new life in Texas and see current picjs not pre wedding courting pics. I enjoy the blog just want new info.

You can't. You are not allowed to hear any news between seasons. Only the few pieces that aren't in the show are revealed. They lay dormit until the next season debuts. Otherwise, watchers might not be interested enough.

I used to harshly judge people who wrote with so many grammar mistakes but then I met this really nice lady who explained to me she had was both dyslexic and had been homeschooled by a mom who had little schooling herself. She said she hated writing anyone anything because she knew how people judged her for it. It made me realize my education was a wonderful gift and I should be thankful for it. That said I don't want to use my knowledge of the written word to judge others who weren't so lucky. That said...it is never too late. There are a ton of resources for adults looking to improve literacy.

I do not think Jinger is "breaking free from all the rules." I believe she was embracing her parent's safeguards. (Read "Before you meet Prince Charming" to find out more of what the Duggar girls believe.)

Tyler is not a Duggar, and as he is under their guardianship I think they have a duty of care to protect his identity snd privacy. He should not feel left out as the Duggars have said on many occassions that the children do not have access to social media,so he will not see this blog. He might also be grateful in years to come that he was not included given his immediate family circumstances, which should be kept private for all concerned.

Tyler is not a Duggar because he is not a blood relation to Jimbob, he is related to Michelle on her side of the family. Israel,spurgeon, Henry and any new grandchildren are related to the Duggars as their mothers are Jimbobs daughters and they are his grandchildren(direct bloodline), even though they do not carry the Duggar name.

Nice pictures but what happened to Jeremy's hair? It's too long and sloppy. They always say people become comfortable after marriage and "let themselves go". This seems to be a common theme for the Duggar men with the hair. Please no more "Derick hair" Duggar girls. You marry handsome men but then they "disappear under all that hair".

Oh my word. I have been married 25 years and a crowbar is needed to pry us apart! LOL! HAPPILY MARRIED COUPLES enjoy being close! Seriously, I'm texting my man at 4:55 every workday asking if he's on his way home from work yet! It's called being in love 😍

Anon @ 12:42 wow you own comment is pretty hateful back. I think the original post was meant as a joke, no malice was meant, so none needs to be returned. This is the problem with social media it is sometimes hard to get the tone of what someone is saying, and it is essy to jump to the wrong conclusions.

I think if they provided a little more context (i.e. information) for the photos that are posted, questions from the public would be answered before the (negative) comments/questions are even asked. To me, it seems like the Duggars provide such small snippets of their lives to the public through the photos they post, that it leaves fans wondering/assuming.

Let all remember to love one another... bc as I read through these comments I see soooo much hate. People making hateful comments abt what Jinger or Jeremy is wearing, Jinger's make up is too heavy, people don't like this or that or commenters are attacking each other. God is love guys. So let's not forget to love one another too.#LetItBeLove

The DUggars freely share their views on makeup, hair and attire. Their primary income is from their reality television show which invites viewers to participate in their life. It does seem interesting and contradictory to me that the Duggars would say they oppose things that alter your God-given looks, like hair dye or cosmetic surgery, yet then strongly embrace other appearance-altering things like heavy eyeliner, hair perming, heat styling, nail polish, and orthodontics. They invite the conversation. Engaging in it isn't rude; it's supporting their livelihood.

I wish Jinger would make a statement about her current wardrobe choices; to wear shorts and pants. Does she HAVE to wear skirts when seeing the family or not? If the skirt wearing is 'just Michelle's personal conviction' and not viewed as a sin, then there should be no problem or guilt with any of the females wearing them. Which is it? Since this family has gone out of their way telling everyone how they are skirt wearing, they should clarify any changes we see too.

I think the family had pretty strict rules about dress (among other things! 😀) when Jinger got married and moved away, she became independent of them and, with a supportive husband, could be her own person. It takes a strong person to strike out and be herself!

I think the silence just reinforces that the no pants rule was the parents idea and the girls had to go along with it. Jinger is now married, and as Jeremy has no problem with women wearing pants she is free to wear them whenever she wants, except when she is back with mom and dad which further reinforces the idea.

Anonymous 8:04 AM, Make a statement? Oh heavens, she's doing the right thing by not making a big deal out of it and staying with her personal convictions. And fans need to do the same. No. No statement.

Ellie and Lily,You do such a great job with this blog. I wonder if there's any way to enable us to give a thumbs up or a thumbs down to the comments? So many times I want to agree, but it seems lame to just say "I totally agree."

Who care who the diggers adopt. Doesn't matter what they believe in. You can be a Christian and still make mistakes. It's called life. Yet people set out to judge those who believe in Jesus Christ. Yet everyone else don't like to be judge. You don't know the whilole story of this family only what you see on tv. Take your own advice and apply it to your own life

Why would you make a big deal out of "celebrating" a 6-month anniversary? Why not "celebrate" each moment and stop counting in days, weeks, or months. Eventually, those don't matter anyway, only the years. If you're doing it right.
